- Good
support bathing suit - breasts need the same support as they would in a land
fitness class. If your swimsuit does not have good support you could
consider wearing a support bra under your suit
- Bikinis have little to no support
- Water slippers or Aquafit shoes (to safety
and hygiene)
- If you get cold easily you may want to
consider wearing a hat, tights or t-shirt. Another choice would be to wear a
unitard with sleeves and legs.
 Choosing the Correct Women's Swimsuit
- Polyester
(90-100%) suit (not just lining) - These suits will last long but may cost a
bit more. Polyester suits contain no elastic. It is the elastic that drys
out and breaks causing swimsuits to loose their shape. In this case spending
a bit more initially works out to be cheaper in the long run. You might even
get a couple of years out of your suit.
- Colour and style don't make any difference or nor does the
leg height. Pick a style that is comfortable. Make sure the polyester
suit fits correctly. Do not purchase a smaller size thinking it will
stretch. It won't. The way it fits on the day you purchase is the fit
it will always be except if you loose weight. You get what you pay for. You
can pay $30 or 40 several times a year or $80 approximately once a year or
if you are luck once every couple of years. Remember polyester suits are not
made to be fashion statements. For aquafit support is more important than
fashion.
- Speedo
and TYR are popular brands - comes in larger sizes
 Straps should cross in the back for best breast
support. - Remember your breasts need the same support as a land
fitness class The water does not support your breasts.
- Higher cut necklines will help keep the breasts in the suit
while exercising
- Wider straps provide better support
- You may find a suit with legs (long or short) and or arms
helps keep body heat from escaping
- Bikinis provide little to no support therefore are not
suitable for Aquafit
- If you can't find a suit with good support then you should
consider wearing a sports bra under the suit.
Participant - Men
- Bathing suit/shorts
- Water slippers or Aquafit shoes (to safety
and hygiene)
- If you get cold easily you may want to
consider wearing a hat, long fitness tights or t-shirt. Another choice would
be to wear a unitard with sleeves and legs.
